I was sleeping in dream state,
I was with you,
We were alone,
It was only us two,
Deep in my sleep I was holding you close,
It was then that I awoke,
With tearing eyes and closing throat,
I gasped aloud and almost choked,
As if surrounded by clouds of smoke,
The waves cascaded and my heart broke,
I realized that I was alone,
That it was only me inside my home,
And you were gone forever more,
Grief shaking my very core,
I only wished to go back to sleep,
Where we were happy and you were with me...
